    Any Hardcore Car Enthusiast Out Here? I Have Questions About Going to Model 3

    Hardcore motorcycle & car enthusiast here. I went from a 2018 C43 AMG with FBO to Model 3 LR. I switched to the Tesla since I was getting more and more into motorcycles and figured, I'd behave in my car to avoid tickets and ride like a hooligan on the bike. So I bought the Tesla because it was...

    Steering wheel vibration on highway

    I've noticed whenever I drove over 65mph my steering wheel would start to shake and shake more the faster I go. Figured I'd need to get my wheels balanced. Got that done and still have the issue, My tires did show some signs of cupping as I've put over 20k on them but could this be the issue...

    Spiders in car, Help! :(

    Last week I noticed a spider run across my inner windshield. Whatever. Over the next few days, I see more and more spider webs in my interior. Today a baby spider crawled down infront of me while driving. I hate spiders and I definitely don’t want them getting in my car. Is it safe to use a bug...

    The "savings" from giving up your Tesla (under Loan) for a Cheap, old car, paid off

    I've contemplated this several times. I've owned a charger r/t a few years ago then a C43 AMG. I've always wondered how much money I would've saved by keeping the charger r/t since I owned it outright. Selling my Tesla right now would be great, Ive gotten offers 6-10k more than I bought the...

    My speakers keep cutting in and out!

    Hello, I've had my M3 LR for a few months now, almost a year. My speakers for the past month have been acting up. When I play music at half volume or above the base tends to cut out for 5-10 seconds. It happens everyday! It's very frustrating when you're listening to music and your subwoofers...

    Canyon carving set up? M3 LR AWD

    Good to know. I haven't been to Little T in a while, and mostly prefer roads like ACH, Big T, Mulholland. Ever since I got rid of my AMG, I've been canyon carving on my sport bike. I do believe the Tesla can handle well with the right mods. I hope they do open more superchargers in the Valley...

    Hello, I recently purchased a used 2019 Tesla Model 3 LR. I've noticed there isn't that many superchargers in Los Angeles but plenty of J772 chargers or whatever its called. How do you pay for those chargers? For example, I work at a hospital and we have those chargers but im not sure how to use...
